[GUIDE] Teoretical and Pracitce usage of TIME type of action!

[SoulNecturn]

Ok I will describe additionally here rules under action type "123" - which is responsible for time

As I noticed this was never explained totally and I was asked in time few times for details considering this usage .... So here we go

IN GENERAL:

ACTION_CHKTIME = 123, / / 
data for the time to type 
0 - check the details of the current server time "% d-% d-% d% d:% d% d-% d-% d% d:% d"; 
1 - check in One day time "% d-% d% d:% d% d-% d% d:% d", 
2 - to check the time on one day "% d% d:% d% d% d:% d", 
3 - check  days "% d% d:% d% d% d:% d", 
4 - to check on time "% d:% d% d:% d", 
5 - check the hours "% d % d "(the first few minutes of each hour in the end a few minutes)

IN PRACTICE

ok we have type "123" and "data" and "param"

(DATA =0)

Param: 2010-01-15 00:00 2011-02-23 23:59

START checking time
End checking time
2010 = year start
01 = month (01 = January) start
15 = day start

2010 - year finish
02 - month (02 = February)
23 - day


(DATA =1)

type: 123
data: 1
param: 10-31 00:00 11-9 23:59

meaning
Start time:
month number = 10 (September)
day number
Hour (its 24 clock, meaning you if you wish to setup like 1 pm just put 13:00)

Finishing time - rules like under starting -> month, day, hour


Now NEXT (DATA =2):


type: 123
data: 1
param: 1 00:00 1 23:59

Day number (1 = Monday, 2=Tuesday..... 7= Sunday)
Time (start - finish) at 00:00 will start and will finish at 23:59



(DATA =3)

this one is under similar rules like DATA = 2 !!
Its like data 2 is checking all for one certain day but data 3 is doing this during all days ... (I didnt find usage of different for both yet but I am suspecting that data 2 is just working only for within 1 day like from 1 to 1 ... but data 3 will can be used for checking dats within range 1-7 even ...)


(DATA =4)

Param: 21:10 21:12

Start time
End time


(DATA =5)

Param: 43 44

this one is most tricky
It will check minutes of certain hour on server
so if you wish to something last must happen between 43 and 44 minute of every hour you must use it

EXAMPLES:

id    id_next    id_nextfail    [COLOR="Red"]type[/COLOR]    [COLOR="SeaGreen"]data[/COLOR]    [COLOR="Orange"]param[/COLOR]

Remember: this is not automatic checking! meaning - you always must be aware of get this action to life by other action

not something that would be unknown to me, just think it's nice effort to inform kids how it's done..

[catface2345]

of course it should be like even:

Theoretical and Practical usage - this is truly what I meant :/ hehe and funinenest - I DIDNT EVEN ONCE READ MY OWN TITLE AFTER MAKE IT .... LOOOOL bahha

um since u brought this up um soulerman can u teach us people at ELIEPVP what the types are for Cq_action and Cq_npc? like which is composer and what does 120 in cq action mean etc. :P tyvm

cataface well heh
all cq_action basic types was explaiend LONG time ago by forcer Check it is somwhere

about cq_npc explaining types - I see no bigger need ehehee give me one example for what you need cq_npc types ??? :P

Soulerman ..
whether this is only to NPC ..
if we can not enter the beast invasion??..

Matrix not exactly .... this Time actions you can use in many other ways
Just use little imagination and you will see that it can be very useful in many other ideas

Regards

as soul said forcer did explane this .... ill post the translated actions out of the eo source - SOME OF THESE DONT WORK but it helps ALOT when you confused on something

ild recommend viewing it in notepad++ on C++ mode because that will make it easyer to read and work out the types from text etc

btw soul sorry if this is kinda offtopic to your topic and if ya want ill remove it opon request

[catface2345]
